Product description
The medieval headscarf pin features a polyhedron-shaped head and is faithfully crafted based on an Anglo-Saxon find from the 8th to 10th century AD. The pin is decorated with a "circle eye" motif, a common design element of the period.
Polyhedron-headed headscarf pins are characteristic of early Anglo-Saxon women's attire and are frequently encountered in archaeological discoveries from this time. These pins were primarily employed to secure headscarves or veils to the hair, serving both a functional and decorative role.
The historical inspiration for this headscarf pin derives from a find in Staffordshire, which is now part of the Birmingham Museums Trust collection. Crafted from brass, the pin measures 6 cm in length, 0.5 cm in width, and 1 mm in pin diameter, reflecting the dimensions of the original piece.
